      @seawolf:

      It's not often I hear about extreme weather around the globe, but I did hear about the Australian heat wave. Stay cool guys!

      Many thanks.  I posted this in another thread but our max. temperatures over the past few days in Melbourne were as follows:

      Tuesday: 42.8
      Wednesday: 41.7
      Thursday: 43
      Friday: 43.9

      No air con at work, unfortunately, makes for a very unpleasant working week.  Cool change just starting to come in now and I'm sipping on my first Friday night margherita as I type.

        You guys (Melbourne), and Adelaide copped the worst of it - poor buggers. We got off relatively lightly here in Sydney, although the humidity has been of tropical proportions. Enjoy the cool change mate!

        ** for any US people not familiar with the conversion, 38C = 100F.

            I'm having a rather enlightening conversation on facebook with a friend, and the main topics are bellybutton lint, tentacle porn, and beer. What else do you need?

                  It gets very lonely at sea. Technology like tablets have made long voyages much more tolerable.

                            It's not for everyone. That's why they call us "double volunteers."  I'm back to being a single volunteer 🙂

                              Ok, I'm pretty excited about this:

                              I got an email yesterday looking for Navy cooks to assist (cook for) SEALs in the field. I'm at the top of a waiting list for a 5 day training exercise in March. They're looking for people that are motivated (check), physically fit (check), and able to think on their feet (check).

                              My imagination is running wild on this one. Here's what I know: They're going to fly me out, provide uniforms, and I'll be able to work on my Expeditionary Warfare Pin (weapons qualification and maintenance, marksmanship, land navigation, field communications, and expeditionary camp deployment) while I'm there.

                              I don't know if I'll actually be selected, but I feel like I have a pretty good chance. Sounds like a unique opportunity and I had to pounce on it.

                                Sounds like quite an opportunity and an experience. One of those "things to tell the grand kids about" moments.

                                    It'll have to be someone else's grandkids. Maybe yours? One day, when Tommy brings his kids over to my place I'll tell them of days I spent in the field cooking for Navy SEALs.
